Feeling inspired to refresh your bathroom? We’ve all been there, when you find yourself suddenly surrounded by paint samples with no idea how to choose. We’ve narrowed down a few ideas to guide you to choose that perfect paint color that suits your bathroom and complete the project!
Lighting
Is your bathroom filled with windows or harsh artificial lights? Correcting any bad lighting is one of the easiest ways to make any paint job appear better, and it will properly portray the color you choose. Before deciding on a color in store, make sure to test in the same lighting that your bathroom will have.
Aesthetic
Determine what mood or aesthetic you want your bathroom to create overall. Want a fun and quirky space? Or more clean and spa-like? Search for some color palettes with aestheticsyou like, in order to narrow down your exact inspiration. Whites, greens and blues tend to be popular for their reflection of water and nature. Bathrooms are also a easy opportunity to try out brighter trendy accent colors if you’re looking for a unique and modern look.
Illusion for Size
If your bathroom is particularly small, we’d recommend lighter colors to create the illusion of more space. If you want to make a extra large bathroom feel a bit cozier, then darker shades will work best. Lighter colors reflect more light than darker colors, so choosing a neutral off white shade is a easy way to open and brighten up a room.
Flooring
Depending on the type of flooring you have, there may be an array of shades within the tile or wood that you can choose from for your walls. By letting the colors within the flooring be your guide, you are sure to end up with a cohesive look overall. For example, if you have tile with shades of gray and blue, you’ll want to stay with cool colored shades to complement (rather than fight against) the floor. 
Classic Or Modern
Whites, grays, blues and greens are by far the most popular bathroom shades. Whites are the most popular due to their naturally fresh appearance and adding a sense of cleanliness. Classic styles tend to lean toward high contrast palettes, with dark light fixtures and lighter walls. Using the trim of cabinets or floors, you can add accent colors for a more modern appearance.
